Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Mermaid, part 1, sentence 69

Well, now, you are grown up," said the old dowager, her grandmother; "so you must let me adorn you like your other sisters;" and she placed a wreath of white lilies in her hair, and every flower leaf was half a pearl.

Who acts: you, me, body, flower leaf · What happens: grow up, say, let, adorn, like, place · To what, where: you, old dowager, me, other sisters, wreath, hair · Speech: someone speaks here
